    oh, im not talking about a wimpy 200rwhp car at all sir. I was referring to the silver one i posted..340rwhp. My Miata is ~200rwhp.... and its fun and quick, but by no means fast. And since when is a 2300-2500 car considered heavy?
    02' Miata

    Okay since you have already gone astray and now changing things around let's make this simple as possible.

    Where did I say 2,300-2,500 lb's was heavy? What are you smoking? I was agreeing with you and with it being light weight and rwd your gonna need something additional to get grip with no weight on the rear axle. Do you come on here and try to find something to argue about? It is common sense and simple physics.

    The 200 hp is the one I was referring to as surprising someone at a red light.

    The other one with the swapped axle is the one that I was referring to as having traction issues for the power range.

    Man your getting this all twisted up... Whew.
